ADEME 2022 methodological guide on the carbon footprint of projects: what you need to know !
The ADEME Methodological Guide emphasises that environmental authorities consider greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to be insufficiently taken into account in environmental assessments. With increasing climate transparency requirements and carbon neutrality targets, renewable energy and recovery project developers are required to integrate carbon impact from the design phase onwards.
Published in 2022 but still relevant today, the ADEME methodological guide proposes a clear method that is increasingly required by the French Regional Environmental Authority Missions (MRAe).
In this article, discover what this guide covers, the key points to remember and concrete strategies for use in your project.
Eco-modulation of photovoltaic panels : Soren’s criteria
A photovoltaic panel is not just a generator of green electricity: it is also a product with a full life cycle, environmental impacts, and an end-of-life phase that must be anticipated. This is the purpose of eco-modulation, introduced by the French government and implemented by Soren, the approved eco-organization for the collection and recycling of solar panels in France.

The challenges, the inventory, the concrete strategies and the expected benefits: discover how a transition plan can significantly reduce the environmental and energy footprint of organizations
What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
In a context where ecological transition has become a strategic priority with growing requirements, companies must demonstrate their environmental commitment. This commitment must be based on reliable and verifiable data.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged today as the reference method for rigorously assessing the environmental impacts of a product, service, or process.
But concretely, what is an LCA? What are its objectives and key steps?
Project carbon impact assessment: how to carry it out effectively ?
Climate impact is now a crucial issue in project development. Whether building a business park, setting up a photovoltaic plant, or renovating a major road, project developers are increasingly required to assess and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This process involves carrying out a project carbon impact assessment.
Photovoltaic glare study : is my solar project affected?
When installing solar panels, the primary goal is to generate clean energy and optimize efficiency. But have you ever heard of the risks of glare or light reflection?
Tenders available with an ECS certificate
On 26 March 2025, the Commission de Régulation de l’Energie, which is the French Energy Regulation Council, published the tender specifications for ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants. These specifications applied to the bidding period which ran from 2 June to 13 June 2025. To respond, photovoltaic developers had to submit the ECS score calculated using the PPE2 V1 methodology for the photovoltaic modules they wished to install.
Why is everyone talking about carbon footprint ?
Did you know that 78% of European companies now have a strategy for reducing their carbon footprint ? In a context where climate change is becoming a major concern, the term “GHG Protocol” is on everyone’s lips. But why is it so popular ?
Simplified Carbon Assessment: a must for the photovoltaic sector
Nearly 500 photovoltaic module references had a simplified carbon assessment (ECS) at the beginning of August 2024. What is the importance of ECS in the decarbonization of the French energy mix?
